Uber-Pool second seat booking fee...

Well-Known Member

Does anybody know that Uber charge £1.00 for pax who books with there mate? When you try to book pool it will ask you of how many seat do you need? If you choose 2 seat they will charge additional service fee of £1.00? So question is this £1.00 goes to the driver or not? You can get 4 individuals to get four paying pax going the same direction. Two seat means one paying pax is lost. Uber fee is £1.00 but who gets it is not clear... ummmm I smell something fishy here. Lucky I receive no pool.
